History WMG / Paranatural

One question Max asks is why everything isn't buried in a skyscraper-sized heap of ghosts of every bug to have ever died? And it is possible that bugs or animals don't generally leave ghosts. Or, given how ghosts seem to be food for greater spirits, it's possible that dead bugs immediately reenter the food chain and are devoured to fuel the wide variety of spirits we see.

He accurately and condescendingly psychoanalyzes Johnny, which would be unusual for a kid who had never been exposed to it. He also uses the psychological term "transference" correctly several times, each time causing someone to lampshade that it's an odd thing for a 12-year old to know.

[[WMG: [[PoisonOakEpilepticTrees Boss Leader is in a coma.]] ]]

Seriously, how does one seventh-grade class in what's implied to be a small school in a small town just happen to have 4+ kids with powers? Seems like long odds to me.

As of [[http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-5-page-87 this]] page, it's all but confirmed Johnny's a medium. He got [[http://www.paranatural.net/index.php?id=300 possessed by Forge]], and now he's starting to see shades, [[http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-1-page-63 one of the early stages of being a spectral]]. Isaac claims that [[http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-1-page-64 prolonged exposure to supernatural phenomena causes people to awaken as spectrals]], and with how much time they spend together, Johnny's nature, and the potential for Johnny to cause paranatural phenomena, his gang will probably fill that requirement fairly quickly, thus awakening as spectrals.

* This is probably a very lose theory, but it's worth a shot. The first piece of evidence I have is [[http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-5-page-153 here]]. [[ThisIsReality Now as we all know]], WaterIsBlue. So the fly dying in the cup of water translates to its BattleAura being blue. I have a few other pieces as well, such as the reason why Eightfold has red energy is because she [[KillItWithFire died in a fire]]. Her location of death was probably a library or near one which was probably her home as well. Some dumb kids [[SpidersAreScary probably did it as a prank]]. Muse probably [[DyingRace died in the wild]] and Scrapdragon might have been a snake caught in a [[DownInTheDumps junkyard]]. This could also explain [[AGodIAmNot King C's weather powers]], who might've been a [[HollywoodDrowning a cub who drowned]] à la TheLionKing.

** [[http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-5-page-56 There's]] also the time where he seems to activate some sort of power to allow him to tank Hijeff's throw during the hitball match, and then states that none of the others [[http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-5-page-57 could take a hit like he can]] without getting hurt badly.

During his flashback we see that Max liked to go around doing a bunch of stunts against his mom's wishes, and in present day has taken on her idea that you shouldn't make promises. He's also desperate to track her down, possibly because he wants to apologize to her. It's possible that at one point she saved him from a stunt he was doing and died saving him.

[[WMG: Mr. Garcia is the infiltrator and secretly in a relationship with Spender. ]]
Cause why the fuck not.

[[WMG: Dmitri is a Spectral and a former member of the Activity Club]]
* In the last panel of [[http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-4-page-96 this strip]] Isabel, while imagining the Activity Club congratulating her, also imagines a dark hand that looks a lot like Dmitri's giving her a thumbs up. (Right above Mr. Spender) And on [[http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-5-page-106 this page]] he [[ObfuscatingStupidity "accidentally"]] keeps screwing up the wires every time Suzy's recording device starts picking up Activity Club stuff.

[[WMG: The kid with the brown eyes and no pupils is a spectral medium]]

The brown eyes could be explained as 'changing to look like his/her spirit'.

Based on [[http://future-tongue.tumblr.com/post/136330471820/a-paranatural-thought-are-the-sphinx-of-games-and this post on tumblr]], it is possible that the sphinx ia part of BERG's fraction and that BERG's one of the "others" the sphinx mentioned. The fact they are both connected to riddles is just a bonus. I recommend reading the post itself. I dont want to copy it all here since I didn't write it.

Because it's too good not to be true.

[[WMG: Later in the series, it will be revealed that Isaacs [[EvilParentsWantGoodKids parents]] are [[InvisibleParents travelling overseas]], as part of his AnimEsque theme.]]

* On [[http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-5-page-158/ the page]] where Lisa blackmails Suzy, Lisa says "Miss" and Suzy flinches, before Lisa continues with "Suzy", and she relaxes, implying she may have been expecting another name.

* Max's mother worked a lot with metal from what we could see in Max's flashback to her of her in the garage.

It's implied "she" can use tools that don't match her spectral color. BL has white spectral energy, and white contains every color.

* Mediums take on physical characteristics of the spirit possessing them. Since Spender is possessed by a powerful shadow spirit, it would obviously be able to see perfectly in poor lighting, as that would be its best environment. Upon being possessed, Spender became able to see in the dark, regardless of how poor the lighting happens to be. Hence him wearing his sunglasses literally all the time, and having absolutely no problems with vision. And being completely okay with wearing sunglasses while driving his students around at night, instead of just pushing them up on his head or something that would maintain contact with Lucifer, but not impair his vision. They don't impair his vision in the slightest.

** In addition, there are dark body parts when Isaac remembers back to fighting earlier monsters. [[http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-3-page-5 Here]]
